I can't tell you how many times I've gone into a store and seen something Elijah just had to have only to get it home and he finds the ceiling fan more interesting. No baby is the same and you will never know what your baby will like. Before buying these 'must haves' yourself, try them out on some one else's dime. Try borrowing them from your friends first. Daycares are also a good source. They usually have most of the common items. let your baby try them out while they're away at daycare. I recently was considering buying an excersaucer for Elijah. I wasn't sure if he would like it or even if he was ready for it. I had the daycare teacher put him in it. Glad I did, he did not like it. I'm having her try it again after a few weeks. - This reminds me... never get rid of anything your child doesn't like. Keep trying it, oneday your picky prince may surprise you.

About Me

1 Practical Mom

My name is Neb, I am a mid-30’s (did I just say that?) new mom to baby Elijah. My Computer Science degree gives me the authority to love all things gadgety, however my limited funds have forced me to look at products a little differently. Before Elijah, most of my purchases were based on bells and whistles. With diaper and daycare costs eating away at my 'fun fund', I feel the need to adjust my spending and become a little more discerning with my purchases. With that said, I am still interested in gadgets and features but it has to be useful. I still want quality but am unwilling to pay a premium for the brand or useless bells and whistles. As I explore the new, more frugal me. I invite you to join my journey.
